| So I have finally decided to buy geosesarma sp. after much internal debate and I have spent all day preparing a place for them to live. The pictures I'm posting now are just a glimpse of what the final paludarium will look like. And it will house: *Picture borrowed from Oliver Mengedoht* | |

| So all in all I will have 10 of these guys, 2 males and 8 females. One of the females is already gravid so I may have a hatch soon too! Hopefully I'll have the tank finished today and that way I can make sure all of my machinery works and what not. Thanks for all the compliments everyone. I have pictures for a DIY article if anyone wants me to write one up. | |

| Too bad my wall collapsed, I suppose I built the upper part of the wall too heavy. Oh well I'm rebuilding it now | |

| Here is my second attempt at the tank, notice how the wall is much smaller this time. I need to clean the tank a little bit but I feel okay about the tank for now. I am getting the crabs tomorrow so it has to work. I still need to add a background. I usually spray paint the back black but I wanted to try something new and I haven't decided exactly what I'm going to do yet. Tomorrow once I get the crabs and clean up the tank, I will post a much better pic and I'll include all of the equipment, flora, etc. I will probably do a DIY write up as well if anyone is interested! Let me know what you think, no matter how you feel. New Scape | |

| I got my crabs today! So excited, they all arrived alive and are currently getting to know the tank/relaxing after their trip from California. Here is the tank running: A couple Geosesarma Sp. "Bicolor" (1 M/1 F) Me trying to get my little camera to zoom in on them | |

| Well I had to rescape the toad tank today because the substrate I used ended up causing a giant mess and now the filter died. Just can't get this tank right I swear lol. The crabs are doing good though, watching them own some crickets is awesome and the toads do a darn good job at that as well. | |

| I am really interested in owning a few of these little guys. Can you tell me how to get in contact with the folk in Cali that you got your crabs from? I would also like the step by step on your setup. I don't think I would make anything this large but it would help with making even a small version. Thanks!! | |
